Discussions in Section B questions

A Section B question may separate discussion requirements from calculations, so that you do not need to do the
calculations first in order to answer the discussion part. This means that you should be able to gain marks from
making sensible, practical comments without having to complete the calculations.
Discussions that are focused on the specific organisation in the question will gain more marks than regurgitation of
knowledge. Read the question carefully and more than once, to ensure you are actually answering the specific
requirements.
Pick out key words such as 'describe', 'evaluate' and 'discuss'. These all mean something specific.
 'Describe' means to communicate the key features of
 'Evaluate' means to assess the value of
 'Discuss' means to examine in detail by argument
Clearly label the points you make in discussions so that the marker can identify them all rather than getting lost in
the detail.
Provide answers in the form requested. Use a report format if asked for and give recommendations if required.
